Standard Giveaway Policy: (sponsored by Michelle and/or Leslie)
As of July 1, 2010, this is Undeniably Book Nerdy's (UBN) standard giveaway policy. Please make sure you understand the terms below BEFORE you enter any giveaways here on the blog. Once you enter, you agree to the following terms:

No purchase necessary.

Unless stated otherwise, giveaways are only open to U.S. residents.

Entrants must be 18 years of age or older in order to enter unless stated otherwise. If you are under 18, please have a parent/guardian enter for you or have their permission to enter.

Be aware that some of the prizes contain explicit content that may not be appropriate for a young reader. (We sometimes give away adult romance novels on this site!)

Entrants must always carefully read the rules of entry (they may vary)--incorrect entries will be disqualified.

Fill out the giveaway form only once unless stated otherwise. Entrants who purposely fill out the form more than once will be disqualified.

Entries will not be accepted after the stated giveaway deadline.

You may email us (see "contact us" tab for the email address) to inquire if you are a winner.

The odds of winning depend upon the number of participants.

A valid shipping address is required from the entrants so the prize can be shipped as soon as possible.

All information is confidential and will only be used if entrant is a winner. All information will be deleted after the giveaway is over and the winner(s) announced.

UBN will never sell or give out the information provided by the entrants to any outside personnel other than those handling the shipping (i.e., the mailman).

The most economical (aka slowest) means of shipping will be used. Delivery time of prizes varies. UBN is NOT responsible for any prizes stolen, lost and/or damaged during transit.

UBN have the right to change or cancel any giveaway at any time without a prior notice.
